localSecondaryIndexes

One or more local secondary indexes (the maximum is 5) to be created on the table. Each index is scoped to a given partition key value. There is a 10 GB size limit per partition key value; otherwise, the size of a local secondary index is unconstrained.

Each local secondary index in the array includes the following:

• IndexName - The name of the local secondary index. Must be unique only for this table.

• KeySchema - Specifies the key schema for the local secondary index. The key schema must begin with the same partition key as the table.

• Projection - Specifies attributes that are copied (projected) from the table into the index. These are in addition to the primary key attributes and index key attributes, which are automatically projected. Each attribute specification is composed of:

• ProjectionType - One of the following:

• KEYS_ONLY - Only the index and primary keys are projected into the index.

• INCLUDE - Only the specified table attributes are projected into the index. The list of projected attributes is in NonKeyAttributes.

• ALL - All of the table attributes are projected into the index.

• NonKeyAttributes - A list of one or more non-key attribute names that are projected into the secondary index. The total count of attributes provided in NonKeyAttributes, summed across all of the secondary indexes, must not exceed 100. If you project the same attribute into two different indexes, this counts as two distinct attributes when determining the total. This limit only applies when you specify the ProjectionType of INCLUDE. You still can specify the ProjectionType of ALL to project all attributes from the source table, even if the table has more than 100 attributes.
